Bahari’s songs have surpassed 650 million streams and last year their hit collaboration with ILLENIUM, “CRASHING” was featured in the To All The Boys: P.S. It marked one of the first integrated music and visual NFT offerings designed to benefit mental health. The auction on MakersPlace donated 20% of the net proceeds to Project Healthy Minds. The visual features a storyline that depict manic mood swings between its pair of on-screen couples, dramatized with an evocative overlay of effects and graphics generated entirely in AI by Seyhan Lee and AI artist Lulu XXX. Along with a livestreamed roundtable discussion moderated by Hayley Hasselhoff – actor, model, self-acceptance coach and host of the new podcast, Redefine You: A Conversation for Wellbeing, the initiative included an auction of AI-fueled NFT’s culled from the “Bipolar” music video. The duo joined forces with VAST, a platform that helps creators build their network and net worth, and lent “Bipolar” to a PSA for Project Healthy Minds – a nonprofit confronting the mental health crisis. The song is currently used in promos for “American Horror Stories”. In 2018 their hit song, Gold-certified “Savage” went viral with over 100 million streams and in 2020 took on a second life with an official remix featuring BIA. Their EP “Dancing on the Sun” and singles “ Get Together” and “Fucked Up” gabbed the attention of Selena Gomez and Birdy who they toured with and also collaborated with Zedd, ILLENIUM and Grey. Natalia follows up and tells me, “We just grew up and slowly transitioned to alternative pop and found it fits our sound.Singer/ keyboardist Ruby Carr and singer/bassist Natalia Panzarella met at just 16 years old and formed a life long bond in both their friendships and career, shortly after meeting and naming themselves Bahari they released “Wild Ones” generating over 40 million Spotify streams. We wanted to find a different sound, “ says Sidney. “For our second EP, we became more mature with our lyrics. Since this collaboration, Natalia tells me it’s helped paved a way for their new sound. Sidney told me Grey are brothers and since she’s felt like sisters with Ruby and Natalia, the chemistry was instant. You’ve probably heard their song “I Miss You” with EDM duo Grey. Sidney chimes in and says Major Lazer and Natalia adds J. As far as collaborations go? Ruby says no one is off the table, including Kendrick Lamar. Speaking of bigger, the girls plan on releasing new music before the end of this year, so stay tuned for that. There’s always something bigger you can do,” Ruby tells me. I just want to keep making more and achieving more. The group has even opened for Selena Gomez on her Revival tour, but ultimately, they trio would love to headline their own tour. We all love music and we wrote what came out of us and it all worked.” Ruby says, “In a way it was, but we all have different influences. Everything just kind of fell in place for the trio. Their producers, Rock Mafia Studios, who has worked with Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus, approached the girls a few years ago and asked if they wanted to perform together. The group also channeled some serious Fleetwood Mac vibes with a flawless cover of “The Chain.” The girls performed their older songs like “Wild Ones” and “California” while giving us a sneak peak of their new material. I mean, they looked like perfect beach goddesses. The group comprised of Sidney Sartini, Ruby Carr, and Natalia Panzarella took the stage and everyone was drawn to their long blonde hair and nearly all white clothing. I met the California-based (well, kind of – Ruby’s from Kenya while Sidney and Natalia are from Los Angeles) trio backstage and we talked food, humidity, but mostly music. I’ve followed Bahari for quite some time so when I heard they were performing at Beale Street Music Festival, I knew I had to get this interview.Īnd as soon as Sidney mentioned her cheese tower, I knew this group was going to be enjoyable.
